With availability from packs, in Squad Builder Challenges (SBCs), and from Objectives, there are plenty of FUTTIES players to try out. However, if you're more interested in cutting to the chase and focusing on the top-tier FIFA 23 FUTTIES players, then these are the cards for you.
10 Vinicius Jr – 98 Overall
- Five-Star Weak Foot
- Five-Star Skill Moves
- High/Med Work Rates
Vinicius is one of the best Left Wingers in FIFA 23 and receives a free FUTTIES card that you can earn after reaching rank 40 in the season pass. Much like his incredible Team of the Season card, this FUTTIES Vinicius also has five-star Skill Moves and a five-star weak foot but boasts a noticeable attribute increase across the board.
Vinicius' overall rating increases from 95 to 98, giving an extra burst of pace and improved Finishing attribute that all end-game cards need. While he can be replaced by a certain fellow Brazilian, it's hard to deny the accessibility of this card as a guaranteed reward.
9 Marco Reus – 97 Overall
- Five-Star Weak Foot
- Five-Star Skill Moves
- High/Med Work Rates
Marco Reus was once the cover star of FIFA, but injuries prevented him from equaling the achievements of Mbappe and others. Despite his tumultuous career, this card finally realizes Reus' potential from a FUT point of view, giving him his best version ever.
The most notable attribute on this card is the 90 Physical, which is much better than Reus' Gold rating of 65. Aside from his massively improved ability to fight off strong defenders, Reus also boasts seven total Traits, including Flair Passes, Outside Foot Shot, and Finesse Shot – the bread and butter of any meta player.
8 Franck Kessie – 96 Overall
- Five-Star Weak Foot
- Four-Star Skill Moves
- High/High Work Rates
Kessie is an exceptionally strong and quick destroyer in midfield, breaking up plays and transitioning defense into offense all over the pitch. While his previous best card only mustered an 86 rating, this 96-rated Kessie puts in a shift every match and is one of the most surprising FUT cards of the year.
While his average body type isn't sensational, Kessie fits the mold of a defensive midfielder like Renato Sanches and offers a greater offensive threat. Take advantage of the Giant Throw-In, Flair Passes, and Swerve Pass Traits that enable Kessie to distribute the ball wherever you may need it.
7 Antoine Griezmann – 96 Overall
- Five-Star Weak Foot
- Five-Star Skill Moves
- High/Med Work Rates
From Kessie's second upgrade to a footballer who has ten total card versions, Antoine Griezmann might be one of FIFA 23's most dangerous attackers. While it's very likely that you have encountered or used one version of Griezmann, this one simply puts the other to shame.
To add to Griezmann's unique body type, he also boasts a set of eight Traits to use, highlighted by the ideal Flair, Finesse Shot, and Outside Foot Shot trifecta. Aside from the Trivela show, Griezmann also boasts Flair Passes and Swerve Pass enabling you to distribute or score in style.
6 Saeed Al Owairan – 97 Overall
- Five-Star Weak Foot
- Five-Star Skill Moves
- High/Med Work Rates
As if his base Hero version wasn't already like using a cheat code for much of FIFA 23, now Al Owairan is back in full-meta fashion. Al Owairan's lean body type and controlled AcceleRATE make him one of the fastest and most offensively explosive players available.
If 99 Pace isn't enough, then surely the Dribbling attributes will entice you, depending on your play style. Unfortunately, Al Owairan does not have the banquet of Traits that others like Griezmann do, but he does boast Flair, Finesse Shot, and Flair Passes. On paper, it's impossible to do this card justice, as it has more qualities in-game than meets the eye.
5 Ibrahima Konate – 97 Overall
- Five-Star Weak Foot
- Three-Star Skill Moves
- Med/High Work Rates
As another 'free' card, Ibrahima Konate surprisingly earns the title of one of the best defenders in FIFA 23 given his superbly high attributes, Lengthy AcceleRATE style, and sky-high attributes. Unlike Vinicius, this card may have a hidden cost: your sanity.
In order to unlock this Konate, you must win 35 Weekend League matches within the event's one-month time frame.
If this requirement is easy for you then you probably don't need this card, but will adore the 99 Sprint Speed, Strength, and Short Passing, which headline Konate's incredible 97-overall card. His 6'4" frame makes Konate a terror for smaller opposing attackers.
4 Neymar Jr – 99 Overall
- Five-Star Weak Foot
- Five-Star Skill Moves
- High/Med Work Rates
Much like his other versions, this Neymar Jr boasts access to every skill move in the game, including rainbow flicks. Neymar's Traits are equally impressive and include the previously mentioned ideal Trivela triumvirate of Flair, Finesse Shot, and Outside Foot Shot.
On paper, there is no better card available if you enjoy performing Skill Moves, as Neymar's Dribbling is perfect, boasting a 99 in every aspect save for the 95 in Balance. The special Neymar body type gives him an exceptionally smooth feel and allows you to pull off some unprecedented dribbles in a flash.
3 Yaya Toure – 97 Overall
- Five-Star Weak Foot
- Four-Star Skill Moves
- High/High Work Rates
If you've played FIFA for a while, then you know there are few more frightening midfielders to see in an opposing team than Yaya Toure. Yaya's long legs make playing in defense seem too easy as he intercepts passes left and right using his 6'2" frame and Lengthy AcceleRATE style.
While attributes are incredibly important, Yaya has all the additional qualities and intangibles you could want in your defensive midfielder. While Kessie is an exceptional destroyer, he is surpassed by Yaya Toure, as the Man City legend simply cannot be beaten when you consider the whole package of qualities he brings to the table.
2 Cristiano Ronaldo – 99 Overall
- Five-Star Weak Foot
- Five-Star Skill Moves
- High/Low Work Rates
Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the greatest footballers ever, providing plenty of goals for club and country. FUTTIES Ronaldo is the perfect embodiment of the peak of Ronaldo's powers sitting at a 99-overall rating and boasting a perfect set of Traits for scoring.
Flair Passes, Outside Foot Shot, Power Header, you name it and Ronaldo has it (including the Trivela trifecta).
Given his 99 in every Shooting stat save for 95 Volleys, Ronaldo will certainly provide your team with an unrivaled scoring touch. His 90 Agility leaves a bit of movement fluidity to be desired, but once in scoring position, Ronaldo cannot be stopped.
1 Lionel Messi – 99 Overall
- Five-Star Weak Foot
- Five-Star Skill Moves
- High/Low Work Rates
The GOAT and Ronaldo's eternal rival, Messi claims the crown for the best FUTTIES card in FIFA 23 following his World Cup coronation. This Messi becomes the first version with five-star Skill Moves and weak foot to go along with a myriad of monstrous attributes and terrific Traits.
Messi exceeds Ronaldo's seven Traits with ten of his own, including Power Free Kick which should allow you to recreate Messi's latest magical moment. Much like Ronaldo, Messi's premium chemistry is an underappreciated but incredibly important factor, as it provides the full three chemistry points automatically.
With premium chemistry, Messi will always play at his highest potential, a fitting characteristic for the best FUT card version of the greatest to ever play.
